Price: $6.99 * Buy At: Walgreens * Size: 0.14 oz / 4 g The Maybelline Color Tattoo in Pomegranate Punk is a somewhat neutral red violet cream shadow with subtle glitter. The Color Tattoos are great. They are very smooth and creamy, as well as pigmented. They are completely smudgeproof and waterproof and last all day until you take it off. It does crease on me a little bit if I wear it all day, but it is pretty crease resistant as cream shadows come, especially from the drugstore. XOX ♥

Price: $4.49 * Buy At: Ulta * Size: 0.18 oz / 5 g The NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk is a white cream shadow stick. I really like this product! It's a little bit sticky, which really helps to get powder eye shadows stick to your lid. Since Milk is white, it also really helps make colors be more vibrant and really pop. This color also really opens the eye when applied to the waterline. It lasts all day on it's own on the lid and can improve the wear of lesser performing shadows when applied under them. You can apply Milk straight from the pencil onto your eye. This can pull on your lids though, I suggest making little lines on the lid with the pencil and then blending and evening it out with your finger.
XOX ♥ Price: $4.94 * Buy At: Walmart * Size: 0.12 oz / 3.4 g The Revlon Illuminance Creme Shadow line has been a favorite of mine for a while & today I have Va Va Va Bloom to share with you. Va Va Va Bloom has shimmery light pink, purple, peachy gold & red violet cream shadows. Each of these shadows are very creamy and are nicely pigmented. The texture of these are softer than the Maybelline Color Tattoos. Sadly, though, these shadows are not water resistant. They will crease a little bit, but can easily be blended with your finger to remove the creasing. XOX ♥
Price: $5.49 * Buy At: Target * Size: 0.14 oz / 4 g Tough as TaupeThe Maybelline Color Tattoo in Tough as Taupe is a matte medium-dark taupe cream shadow. Tough as Taupe looks much lighter in the pot than it does swatched. The formula of Tough as Taupe is great. It's creamy and easy to build up color. It lasts all day with minimal creasing and is very smudge and water proof. I find that Tough as Taupe is best used as a built up shade, as it isn't the easiest product to blend out. Bad to the BronzeThe Maybelline Color Tattoo in Bad to the Bronze is a shimmery light bronze that isn't warm or cool toned. I think this makes Bad to the Bronze wearable for all eye colors and for both cool and warm skin tones. Bad to the Bronze is much more subtle when built up than Tough as Taupe. This makes it really easy to wear as an all over shade & it also blends out to a more subtle bronze easily. Bad to the Bronze had the same great formula as Tough as Taupe. Tough as Taupe VS Bad to the BronzeThese are not similar shades, but I thought I would just show how they compare, maybe if you are deciding between these colors.
Bad to the Bronze is shimmery, while Tough as Taupe is matte. Both would make nice lid colors, but Bad to the Bronze would probably be more flattering as a one-shadow eye look. I found that Bad to the Bronze blended out easier and looked better blended out than Tough as Taupe. XOX ♥ Price: $5.99 * Buy At: Target * Size: 0.12 oz / 3.4 g The Revlon Illuminance Creme Shadow in Moonlit Jewels is a quad with a muted blue, muted green, dark brown & light neutral gold cream shadow. I love these shadow quads and am surprised that I haven't seen any other bloggers or YouTubers mention it. This is my 4th one! These cream shadows have a very similar smooth feeling & great pigmentation like the Maybelline Color Tattoos. They also blend really easy. However, these cream shadows aren't very water resistant.

Price: $5.94 * Buy At: Target * Size: 0.14 oz / 4 g The Maybelline Color Tattoo in Inked in Pink is a cool-toned shimmery pink cream shadow or shadow base. Inked in Pink has a fairly creamy texture that is easy to apply. However, even when the lid is always closed tightly, it tends to dry out the top layer. This product has amazing wear. It does crease a little bit, but is easily fixed by blending it in with your finger throughout the day. It's also smudge and water proof! XOX ♥
Price: $4.49 * Size: 0.1 oz / 3 g * Buy At: J.Cat's Website http://jcatbeauty.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=18_59&product_id=54 The J.Cat Sparkling Cream Palette in Suzie features 5 very glittery creams. This product was in my June Ipsy Bag. Suzie includes gold, rose, beige, yellow gold & copper shades. Once you get off the top layer of dry glitter, you get to an oily cream formula. The application is all right, but it's not the most evenly distributed glitter I have. Surprisingly, for being so glittery, I didn't experience any fall out on my cheeks. The formula stuck to my lids pretty easily, but honestly it just doesn't look very good. The glitter is just too sparse and looks odd on its own. Plus, it transfers all over your eye area. Due to the size of the glitter in this product, you should be careful when applying it around your eyes. J.Cat's website also mentions this. SwatchesXOX ♥
Today I have another Revlon Illuminace Cream Shadow Quad! I just showed this in my "Few Things From Walmart" haul. really enjoy these cream shadows, and feel that they are overlooked and not as popular as they should be. Product Information Price: $4.94 Where To Buy: Target Size: 0.12 oz. / 3.4 g Shades Available: 12 On Revlon's Website: http://www.revlon.com/Revlon-Home/Products/Eyes/Eye-Shadow/Revlon-Illuminance-Cr%C3%A8me-Shadow.aspx Packaging Each of these come with 4 cream shadows. As you can see in the picture above on the right, it is larger than the palm of my hand. This product is thin & sleek, so it doesn't take up a lot of room & is easy to bring for travel. The large mirror also makes this product ideal for travelling. The only thing I don't like about the packaging, is that it can be difficult to open and has broken my nails before!

The formula of these cream shadows is very smooth & creamy. It will dry out over time, as do all cream products. They aren't very thick, but, still provide a decent pigmentation. The pigmentation of these shadows will be better with darker or brighter colors, versus these pale neutrals & pinks. They also last a nice time, making them good as bases (in this palette, for lighter shadow looks) XOX ♥ |
